Element.runtimeStyle (Property)

The style settings for the object, taking into account any cascaded styles and changes to the styles that may have happened dynamically.

Availability:

JScript - 5.0
Internet Explorer - 5.0
Property/method value type:Style object
JavaScript syntax:IEmyElement.runtimeStyle

Because the style values are cascaded from style sheet to style sheet and may include some inline styles as well as some explicit styles, objects need to maintain a current style value that is the result of all the inheritances applied on top of one another.

In addition they maintain a run-time style which reflects dynamic changes as well. The runtime style is based on the current style in the first place.

The value of this property is a reference to a style object. However, it does not refer to the same style object as the style property. You can test for this with the isObjectEqual() function that we have documented elsewhere.
